Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 23, 2017]

[damiennp90]

Doesn't really matter.

We deserved that. We clearly didn't want to win.

For the tigers. Do didn't look lik scoring in that first half. To score 30 is unbelievable.

 

[mickqld]

Forget the refs this was our own making. Dumb sht intercepts , pathetic back pedalling arm grabbing defense, dropping balls everywhere. No drive to win against a lasy placed team. Totally sht effort. Taupau wtf sort of defense was he doing. Fuk me I'm aghast at how sht we can play.

 

[Kevinward777]

Penalty against Uate, then an obstruction let go and a forward pass a metre forward let go. Add to that the forward pass that was called against Tom in the first half when we were lined up for a try...and yes we didn't help ourselves but fcuk me I am sick of these absolute bullsh1t decisions going against us consistently time and time again.

 

[Eagleheart]

It was an obstruction no doubt about it, should never have been awarded a try.

You cant seriously blame the referees.

Manly are a top 4 side leading 20-4 against the wooden spooners.

No heart or soul in our team.

No we can't but we'd still have gotten a win if they were better. **** I'm pissed, we let them back in and forgot how to compete. That's a game we just threw away!!

Not blaming the refs for how we played in the second half because we stunk. But no way was the match winner anywhere close to a legal try.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Dumb team.

 

[bob dylan]

So angry right now. Beaten by a bunch of losers.
Taupau Tom Lane Green Lawrence DCE Walker all rubbish

Our second rowers Lane and Winterstien. They sure do remind me of Watmough and Stewart in their prime.

 

[NLSeaEagle]

F*** me, what a way to ruin my day, my weekend, my upcoming week......................

For all those I've been debating with all last week............................those who claim that we have 2 "promising" young centres.....................Parker (like Kelly) shows today he isn't cut out for this!!!

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

TT is not secure, is slow to react to things, is clumsy in defence, and over confident near opposition try line. He's not that quick even though his ankle is better.

 

[Danly Manly]

Expect to lose every game from here on in. Maybe we will get a surprise and actually win one.

 

[BOZO]

Lets talk about the penalty against Uate being penalized for contesting the ball fairly

Lets take some responsibility and look at our own faults
We cant fix the refs faults . If we are to make a big improvement to our play we need to fix our own faults and tonight we had plenty

I honestly have no problem with the obstruction call. The forward pass maybe, but you get that sometimes.

 

[robbiea]

Green's Brown ,Turbo's blown & Kapow's kaput.

No heart or soul in our team.

Heart and soul isn't missing,it's a centre,2 second rowers,a starting prop and a bench.Bozo is going to hope some clubs will have to have a fire sale at seasons end to get under the cap because there is no one coming through the grades and Lane,Winterstein and Parker are not first graders

 

[Harvies elbow]

We lacked the class to ice that game.
If that's where we are at then we won't be in the semi's for long if we make it.

 

[HappilyManly]

5 tries all, again we lost on missed goals.

Hope the Great Bonzo has a sharpshooter for us in 2018

 

[Ryan]

We've now conceded 140 points against in our last 4 games at an average of 35 points per game. Something is dreadfully wrong with our defensive attitude.

 

[HoldenV8]

I honestly have no problem with the obstruction call. The forward pass maybe, but you get that sometimes.

Considering how many times we've seen tries disallowed for exactly the same thing, you don't just get that.

What's Archer going to say tomorrow, sorry we got it wrong? Won't change the result will it.

 

[SeaEagle21]

How that isn't obstruction is beyond me, stopped right in the line. Then they are saying 'well DCE' stopped also but what else he supposed to do he lost sight of where the ball went due to the obstructing player. Worst bit of it is that is obstruction every week and nothing so inconsistent.

However we lost that game due to our lack of urgency. They clocked off in the second half plain and simple. Save the $10K for the ref spray and unleash on the team for that disgusting display when they have everything to play for. Not the end of the world but boy they have now made it within reach of the Dragons.

Seeing my tiger supporting wife jump in front of me after they won just makes it worse.

I knew from the start of the week it would be hard and stupid me for daring to dream that at half time the boys knew the importance to close that one out.
